This happened to a friend who was a phenomenal crafter and singer. Whilst her singing voice never returned she turned out the most intricate embroideries, beadwork, paintings, did gardening, decorating… in fact it just did not stop her. Her commitment was total and her quality of work was not diminished. What she accomplished with one hand put us to shame. Tku for sharing your journey. Inspiring.

This happened to someone I

I'm diagnosed with FTD. It presents as a stroke with speech, weakness of left side, in motorized wheelchair, brace AFOs. The works. PT, OT and speech therapy several times a week. I cannot leave the house without help. I feel imprisoned in my own home. I hear and see you. ❤

My wife had a hemorrhagic stroke from a rupture of the artery in the brainstem. We have been working for 1 year very hard at getting better. She has been home 6 months on the 28 of this month. Any suggestions

I had seizure 3 weeks doctor say no oxygen was off sleep so no oxygen for brain now my right arm speak don't work and my already paralyzed legs spine fron crasj 25 years i miss crochet I'm do for many years and I looking not give up my crochet and maybe do my left hand and because crochet my one of pass8in of life

Thank you for explaining and demonstrating. You're amazing. I was severely injured in my left non-dominant hand 10 years ago and it's been uphill, but I'm lucky that one and a half hands work (as long as its not too fiddly!) I used to play Piano, Viola, and various sized Recorders, for fun, but those and of course typing with more than one finger are all out. Take care of yourself ❤❤

How come she cannot get her hand back? I had a category 5 haemorrhage that left me completely paralyzed in all 4 limbs including both hands. I reviewed all 4 limbs including both hands.

You are courageous and inspiring and would make a fine advocate for people with disabilities. God bless you!

Bless you 🙏🏼 I’ve been looking for alternatives to my grandma who had a stroke she loves knitting. Thanks for the idea 🫶🏻

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

You are amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. I recently experienced a stroke that caused immobility and no feeling in my left arm. It’s not my dominant arm. I hope to find a way to resume crocheting once I’m home from the hospital.

Thank you for making this video. I recently had a stroke and recognized how much it took to make this video. And LOVE the sweatshirt. Praying for your journey!

Respect madame you are a hero I really admire you ❤❤❤❤

WATS REASON behind THIS STROKES

You are awesome. You might also try loom knitting. That may be another way to express your creativity. ❤

I had a Hemorrhagic Brain Bleed Stroke in 2012 that left me with left side paralysis and I was confined to a wheelchair. Because I had my head shaved so that the doctors could drill in my skull and drain the blood and my eyes were bulging out because of all the pressure in my head I looked scary and my speech was lost also I was in a dark place. I could understand everything that was being said about me but unable to communicate and the negative people around me did not help at all. I was and am Determined to prove that I am still me so on July 2016 I forced myself to start using a crutch to make myself walk. I have gone to College and am a Certified EKG Monitor Technician and I am also a Substitute Teacher and I got my driver's license and am driving since 2022. I loved to work with my hands drawing, sewing and crocheting. I've been trying to figure out how to crochet with my right working hand and now with your video I will be able to figure out a way. Thank you! You are an Inspiration!! Keep up your fight. Trust in GOD and you will accomplish what you set your mind to do with GOD'S help. Nancy Garza - Texss🤗

I use a grip assist glove (Active Hands brand) to hold the needle in my affected hand.

Hi sweetie, I am in awe that you found a way, good on you. I am in my 10th year as a stroke survivor, missing my knitting. I volunteer to keep myself busy. And now looking for way to start my knitting or maybe crocheting? Again well done, you have a fighting spirit, you need to stay on top. xxx Elizabeth

Hi! I miss driving, I used to drive everywhere,anytime. I miss being independent. Post stroke, I’ve been needing assistance from family and friends. My husband is great but I feel guilty sometimes. You are not alone! I love you vid about crocheting. I love cooking and plants and traveling.

I have cerebral palsy

Amazing that you have learned to crochet one handed. Great determination!!

I like your interviews! your son is funny and well spoken

How exciting for you!!

This is great!!Ihave no hand movement still.after my stroke Hopefully you keep improving

I just found your your tube channel. Let us know what your other channels will be so I can folllow you

I had a stroke also. Thank you for the inspiring video. I am determined to leard to crochet with one hand!!

I too share a similar experience. I suffered an ischemic stroke 5 years ago and 20 years prior to that, I had a brain aneurysm. The doctors said there was no correlation. While I fully recovered from the aneurysm and brain surgery, I still have left sided weakness from the stroke despite several rounds of OT and PT. I recently joined a gym and restarted PT, in an effort to gain strength, better balance and coordination. My focus is to continue to improve. I hope you are also able to improve.

God bless you Lori❤🤗

You get an A+. 🎉

God bless u

Lori, you are a rockstar!!! I had a hemorrhagic stroke almost 15 years ago, Oct. 16, 2008. My youngest daughter was 1 week old. My bleed was in my right frontal lobe and the subarachnoid lining of the brain. I had a craniotomy for that bleed. I also sported the same shaved head as you. So as our story is very similar and our strokes very similar, because of the location, we had some different challenges. I am so lucky I was able to walk again within 5 weeks of being at inpatient therapy at Atlanta, Shepards Center. I walk with no brace or cane, I just can't wear the shoes I once would wear. I live in Sketchers, you know the slip on kind. So many changes in my life over the past 15 years, I still have no function of my left arm/hand. It can hold onto things sometimes. I do art daily, it might be digital art, painting with mixed media, or working with polymer clay, and I make beautiful jewelry. I used to crochet, my oldest daughter crochets now, and I realized, I missed it. I have a room just for painting and clay that is full, but no yarn. You have inspired me to try again. And like you, I create using legs, under my arm, chin, and whatever I see that will work. Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to following you and see how you progress. Love and peace. Tam.

Hii!! I love your crochet aid, and I also love your previous one you showed in another video. Thank you for sharing your crochet process with us. I had a hemiplegic stroke, and am also using a crochet aid to crochet. Sending all the love to you, keep up the great work!❤️❤️❤️

God bless u maam

I love you!!!! Stay strong 🎉🎉🎉

I have a few questions for you about when you tied off the knot and held part of the string in your mouth. First, brilliant. Second, it must have taken so much concentration and effort to get that new technique incorporated into your crocheting, and you make it look effortless. Is it effortless or automatic now or do you still have to think about it every time you do it? I also had a Hemorrhagic stroke in April of 2021 and I just found your channel today. I'm in the middle of your video but wanted to ask that question before I forgot it, so don't be overwhelmed if I leave a lot of comments.

Go Girl Warrior State of Mind Know no Bounds

I know that you have had a hard recovery. Stay in recovery and never give up. You are a strong woman 👩. It's not always easy every day living with a stroke. Once again for sharing your strength and hope 🙏.
